I am guessing you have shutdown and switched your machine back on? And it is still there?

Other people on forums (found via Google BTW) are saying they are able to right click and delete it.

Also I take it you are running Windows XP SP3?

Yeah you are correct xp sp3 i'll try a shut down after malware and anti vir scan

I suspect Spyware!

Ad-aware and Spybot should do the trick!
